Hello Wikimedia NYC!
I'm writing because someone from your group expressed interest in participating in the upcoming Open Everything NYC event. I'd like to invite you all to attend, the full details are below. Furthermore, if you like the idea, please feel free to pass this email on to others. If you're a blogger, a short post to help get the word out about the event would be very helpful (send me a link to your post so we can link back to you).
I look forward to seeing you at the event!
Open Everything NYC http://nyc.openeverything.us/ will take place on Saturday 18 April 2009 at the UNICEF headquarters in the United Nations Plaza, NYC. The event will run the full day, registration will open at 8:00AM and things will be in full swing by 9:00AM.
The event will be 100% free and open to the public on a first come first serve basis, online pre-registrationhttp://nyc.openeverything.us/#registrationis required. The main hall can hold up to 250 guests.
The event will consist of two keynote presentations (one opening & one closing) each of about 1 hour in duration. In the time between the two keynotes attendees will be in control of the program (Barcamphttp://barcamp.org/style). There will be a number of conference rooms available for individuals to hold talks & discussions on topics they see fit. Past events have included topics such as Open Publishing, Open Education, Government Transparency, Open Access, Open Research Data, Creative Commons, Open Hardware, and more.
From http://openeverything.net: http://openeverything.net/
Open Everything is a global conversation about the art, science and spirit
of 'open'. It gathers people using openness to create and improve software, education, media, philanthropy, architecture, neighbourhoods, workplaces and the society we live in: everything. It's about thinking, doing and being open.
Open Everything was started by a few people back in the beginning of 2008, and it has grown to include events in cities around the world. New York is going to be the next and we'd be delighted if you would participate.
Cheers, John Britton -- contact info: http://www.johndbritton.com -- http://www.hostgrown.com
Does anyone know how we could reserve a room ?

Hi David,
There will be a number of rooms available. Wikimedia NYC can propose sessions and reserve space on the day of the event. There will be between six and eight open sessions (in each room) during the course of the day.

How long will it last in the evening? After Shabbos (the Jewish Sabbath) ends an hour after sunset? Will it extend a second day to Sunday maybe?

Hi folks,
Just wanted to put out a reminder about Open Everything NYC, which is coming up this Saturday from 9:00AM- 6:00PM at UNICEF in Manhattan.
Hopefully if we have a couple of participants from our group, we can make good contacts with like-minded local organizations that will also be present.
Don't forget to register online beforehand:

Perhaps we should make some actual plans about what we intend to do. I'm somewhat more apt to do things with a clear purpose.

I just had a talk with the organizer of Open Everything NYC, to try and get a lay of things and see what our possible role might be. Basically, the event is structured as an unconference, which means the session topics will be decided by consensus of the ~150 participants that morning.
There should be about 8 sessions total, running over the course of the day in the 4 rooms. I think our focus would be on joining or starting a session on Open Education, and maybe raising two or three ideas that are viable to collaborate with like-minded groups on, like photographic projects, library initiatives, and work with universities.
Hopefully this is a bit of a plan.
Maybe other ideas could also go on-wiki:

Hi folks,
Looking forward to trying to raise open education issues at 'Open Everything NYC' tomorrow (Saturday).
BTW, if any Wikimedians dropping by at UNICEF during the day maybe have an audio or video recorder handy, the organizers has asked for our help in crowdsourcing some of the recordings of the discussions.
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)
